OCALA - A man arrested Tuesday on a warrant for shooting a man in an alleged robbery a few weeks ago made his first appearance Wednesday before a judge via video link from the Marion County Jail.

Javon Ralph “Whoadie” Woods, 32, told Judge John Futch he works odd jobs and that most of his earnings go to child support for his four children.

Woods’ bond was set at $150,000 and he was appointed a public defender. Woods is charged with armed robbery, aggravated battery with a firearm and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

He was taken into custody by members of the regional U.S. Marshals Service fugitive task force, the Ocala Police Department, whose detectives issued the warrant, and a Marion County Sheriff’s Office K-9 unit

OPD detectives said that on Nov. 3, Javon Woods, his cousin Jackie Wayne “Buddy” Woods, 26, and Stevie Lamar “White Boy” Willis Jr., 29, accosted a 21-year-old man in the parking lot at the Palacio Latino Sports Bar. Witnesses and the victim said Javon Woods shot the man in the upper left thigh and left knee, according to reports.

Jackie Woods and Willis were arrested Friday by the U.S. Marshals taskforce.
